51% Flippers, by daisy on May 2, 2008 22:09:02 GMT 1, I'm not very good at maths however I've just looked at ebay and 34 out of 150 prints of Nick Walkers "Vandalism" are up or have been sold (flipped). That's mental. Do these people like art or money? If you run out of walls then sell but enjoy the print for a bit! What's the point?

51% Flippers, by Heavyconsumer on May 2, 2008 22:24:27 GMT 1, lol!
The sad facts of life! I was really looking forward to seeing the online releases. I'm so glad though that I didn't think much of either, as I would have been truly gutted to miss out on them and then see so many on offer by the leeches even before they had been sent out by the gallery. The only thing that irks me more than anything else though, is how this forum is so geared towards the sharing of info' on such releases but then at the same time so lends itself as a platform for flippers to offer their wares for sale to those who would have been "genuine consumers" in the first place. There is something inherantly wrong in that imo.
It would be very easy for Silky and the forum as a whole to decide to inject some integrity, but it's just left to fester and grow like cancer. It seems that the only way to enjoy the forum is let these people get on with it. Why can't the flippers simply be discouraged from rubbing art appreciating forum members' noses in their s**t? Silky??....

51% Flippers, by daisy on May 2, 2008 22:36:23 GMT 1, Well said heavyconsumer. I was only joking on my last post of course however flippers do increase the interest in an artist by pitching their sale price higher than the artist ie Banksy, Nick Walker etc & they sell at a higher price and therefore creating a profit margin for flippers and therefor creating a financial hype. Everyone then want's to buy into this bullshit hence pushing the secondhand market up. You've got to love the fact that we all buy into this hype!

51% Flippers, by Heavyconsumer on May 2, 2008 22:48:35 GMT 1, alsbabar, I am over it. In fact if you reread my post, I think you'll find I actually dislike both the prints in question. That's why I didn't try to buy them, unlike most forum members who trried regardless of their taste. Sour grapes is one thing and you're 100% right about how often that crops up on here, I know. However there is missing out on art and then there is missing out on a quick profit. I'm honestly not sure which of the 2 your post is refering to. Please don't tar everyone with the same brush though.

51% Flippers, by daisy on May 2, 2008 22:58:33 GMT 1, I've never flipped anything in my life. I could quite happily hold a gun to the head of a flipper and pull the trigger. Of course that would be a fake gun without full proof of ownership on ebay.

51% Flippers, by junkieart on May 2, 2008 23:09:36 GMT 1, My heart bleeds! I didn't get one, everyone that did are ba*tards!!! On the on-line release how do you get time to choose?? If you are quick enough get one, it will be worth ยฃ1k+ more. I've been collecting B's work since 03, have some lovely signed pieces for ยฃ100, I thankyou! But if a release happens I buy! Why would I not? You can't decide if you like it in 2 seconds,. How can you say you dislike them within that time? If you were to slow unlucky but shutup!!!
JA
PS: Got new NW airways is at framers now because I like it!

I'm sure you've seen this all before however I'm a bit Northern which means were slightly slower than you London types. Just think what it's like to be into this shit without any galleries!! And having to rely on the Interweb!!!

Do you walk up to people in the street and shout at them to !stop talking about the weather'! (or whatever they are talking about at the time). LOL.
BTW. I quite like the VA.
